€ Christmas is a religious holiday?



It started out that way.

Of course, it started out as a Pagan holiday celebrating the winter
solstice on December 21st....

the point still remains

--

The constitution promises freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM
religion. Think about it, It ain't that hard to figure out. If your
religion is none, then deal with it.

I strongly urge everyone reading this to check out WWW.anysoldier.com,
and support our troops with a letter, a package or a donation.

So, I guess I can immigrate to a Muslim country, and then sue because the
guy screaming from the minaret 5 times a day pisses me off.

Have the others tried to put a symbol on the land and been denied? If not,
I see no problem.

Why not? As long as they don't specify only Chirstian or only Jewish or
only whatever religion, I see no problem with that.

> Why
> can't the taxpayers vote to let government money directly support

> schools, churches, and nunneries?


because it'd be a waste of taxpayer dollars. However, if htey wanted to
support those things with their tax dollars, I see nothing wrong with it as
long as they didn't specify only Christian.

> Why can't the taxpayers vote that no
> Christians have to pay taxes, only Jews, Mormons, and Mossmanists?


Because that would be a law respecting religion and would therefore be
unconstitutional.
